Therefore, developing a distributed water collection system for desert regions is of great significance for solving irrigation problems in desert areas. Thus, there is an urgent need for an improved distributed water collection technology for desert regions to address the problems existing in current technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a distributed water collection device with a water collection cylinder on its main body. A water level gauge is vertically positioned in the center of the cylinder's interior, surrounded by capillary wires. The upper half of the cylinder's interior sidewall has a groove for installing permeable stones. The top of the capillary wires is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the permeable stones within the groove, and the bottom of the capillary wires is fitted with the bottom of the water level gauge. A water pipe installation hole is located in the center of the top permeable stone at the top end of the cylinder, housing a water pipe. A baffle plate is positioned above the outer wall of the cylinder, perpendicular to its outer wall. This distributed water collection device ensures water inflow while reducing evaporation, facilitates rainwater collection and impurity filtration, and provides sufficient moisture within the cylinder under arid conditions. This desert distributed water collection device satisfies the dual purpose of water collection and supply, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] (1) A permeable stone is provided at the top port of the water collection tube. The water collection tube and the permeable stone together form a water collection device. The water collection tube is used to collect and store water and irrigate the surrounding vegetation. The top is a truncated cone shape, which is used to place the permeable stone.

A capillary line is installed in the water collection cylinder to connect the permeable stones in the cylinder wall and stably transport water from the inside of the cylinder to the permeable stones in the cylinder wall. The capillary line has the advantages of low cost, good durability and simple construction, and no other energy input is required.

[0028] The water level gauge 7 is vertically installed at the center of the bottom of the water collecting cylinder 1. The water collecting cylinder 1 is a cylinder. The inside of the water collecting cylinder 1 is provided with a capillary 5. The bottom end of the capillary 5 is connected to the bottom end of the water level gauge 7, and the top end of the capillary 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the permeable stone 3 on the cylinder wall.
[0029] The inner side wall near the top of the water collection cylinder 1 is provided with a groove for installing permeable stones. The groove is provided with permeable stones 3. The permeable stones 3 are installed in conjunction with the groove on the water collection cylinder 1. A top permeable stone 2 is provided at the top port of the water collection cylinder 1. The water collection cylinder 1 and the top permeable stone 2 constitute a water collection device. The water collection cylinder 1 is used to collect and store water and irrigate the surrounding vegetation. The top is a truncated cone shape to place the top permeable stone 2. A small hole is opened in the middle of the truncated cone to ensure water inflow while reducing water evaporation.
[0030] The top permeable stone 2 is funnel-shaped and set as a frustum to collect rainwater and filter debris. The permeable stone and the top of the water collection cylinder 1 are matched with each other, both being frustum-shaped, which facilitates the flow of rainwater into the water collection cylinder. A small hole is provided in the middle for laying the water delivery pipe 6. As needed, the upper surface area of the top permeable stone can be increased to increase the water collection range, which is beneficial for collecting rainwater.
[0031] A water pipe installation hole is provided vertically in the center of the top permeable stone 2. The water pipe installation hole penetrates the top permeable stone 2 vertically, and the water pipe 6 is installed inside the water pipe installation hole in the center of the top permeable stone 2.

The baffle plate 4 and the water collection cylinder 1 are an integral structure.
[0033] Water seeps out through the permeable stones 3 in the cylinder wall and expands the irrigation range through the water baffle 4. The water level inside the cylinder is measured by the water level gauge 7. When necessary, water is replenished in time through the water delivery pipe 6. The water level gauge 7 and the water delivery pipe 6 constitute a water supply device. The water delivery pipe 6 extends downward from the ground surface to pass through the top permeable stones 2 and is used to replenish water into the water collection cylinder 1, so that the cylinder is sufficiently moist under drought conditions, satisfying both water collection and water supply. The water level gauge 7 is placed in the water collection cylinder 1 along the water delivery pipe 6 to measure the water level inside the cylinder and replenish water in time.

During rainy days, rainwater is collected through the permeable stones 2 at the top and continuously transported to the permeable stones 3 on the cylinder wall through the capillary 5. The permeable stones 3, the baffle plate 4, and the capillary 5 constitute a drainage device. The permeable stones 3 are arranged around the circumference of the cylinder wall and are located on the upper part of the water collection cylinder 1, providing a wide irrigation range and continuous irrigation of the surrounding vegetation. The baffle plate 4 is installed below the permeable stones 3 and extends outward perpendicular to the cylinder wall to prevent water from flowing vertically downward along the cylinder wall, thus increasing the irrigation area. The capillary 5 is installed inside the water collection cylinder 1 to connect to the permeable stones 3 on the cylinder wall, stably transporting water from inside the cylinder to the permeable stones 3 on the cylinder wall. The capillary has the advantages of low cost, good durability, and simple construction, and requires no other energy input.
